We welcome you to our school located in the beautiful village of East Allington.
Our school and staff are committed to the ‘EA ABC’. We want every child to be Active, Bold and Caring. What does this mean?
Active: be hard working, be independent.
Bold: have a go, be brave.
Caring: be kind, be respectful.
We are a happy, creative and inclusive school with a very positive ethos of high expectations and excellent behaviour underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which recognise the rights of children and young people and ensure that they grow up in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity.
The school is set in stunning grounds which we use to the full with our own Forest School, poly tunnel and sports field. We currently have 99 children on roll and 15 children in our thriving pre-school. We are popular and many children commute from outlying villages and Kingsbridge.
We cannot share the strengths of our school in this short piece of writing. The remainder of this site will tell you some more, but the best way to find out is to come and visit us. Our children, staff and parents will be delighted to tell you about the school.

Active: Be Hard Working, Be Independant

Plymouth Aquarium climate workshop On Monday, Years 5 and 6 has a fantastic science workshop investigating climate change and the effects on our oceans. They looked at fossil fuels, carbon dioxide and how the oceans are becoming more acid, harming marine life. With lab coats and goggles, they were true environment scientists! This was followed by an assembly for the whole school to help us become 'Climate Heroes'! Someone dressed up as a hot dog too!
